Funeral service for Christopher Michael Stanley will be 2:30 p.m., Saturday, December 5, at Riverwood Family with interment at Bales/Stanley Cemetery. Visitation is from 1 p.m. until the time of the service.

Mr. Stanley, 46, of Brookhaven, passed from this life into the next December 1, 2020, at Mississippi Baptist Medical Center in Jackson. He was born in McComb, Mississippi, June 11, 1974, to David Lee Stanley and Gloria Elaine Stanley. Chris was employed at King’s Daughters Medical Center as a Computer Tech with IT Systems; he was a member of Bogue Chitto Baptist Church.

Chris is preceded in death by his father, David Stanley, and his uncle, Don Stanley.

Those left to cherish his memory are his wife, Amy Renee Stanley; mother, Gloria Stanley; sons, Austin Stephenson and Blake Stephenson; brothers, Jeff Stanley and Dusty Stanley; sisters, Linda Stanley and Darlene Stanley; other family members include Will Stanley, Sarah Stanley and Aniya; Uncle Gary and Aunt Pandy Bales; Aunt Darlene Portery (James) and Uncle Danny Stanley, as well as many special friends.

When preparing for this day Chris said…

“Please do not make it all about my computer work. It is what I did for a living, but it does not encompass who I am. I am about loving everyone and prevention of judging and hate. That is who I am.”

And that is exactly who Chris was his entire earthly life. Everyone who spent any time with him will always remember his smile, his kindness and his wonderful generous heart.
